Ahead of the annual internet meltdown, Amazon has announced its best deals that will go on sale during the Black Friday shopping period.
The digital pandemonium, which will start on November 20, a full-week ahead of actual Black Friday will see Amazon trial a number of new features and ways to help you part with your cash quicker than ever before.
More than 150 “Lightning Deals” will be available only on mobile, and Amazon Prime members will get access to most of them 30 minutes before the general public.

“Last year, total holiday sales from the Amazon Mobile Shopping App doubled in the U.S. and Black Friday had the most rapid growth in mobile shopping,” Amazon said in a news release.
Another new feature will include “Watch A Deal” service that will notify customers when a chosen product goes on sale.
For Prime members based in Manhattan, San Francisco, LA, Dallas, Chicago and 15 other metropolitan areas, the retailer is offering two-hour delivery on select Deals of the Day.
Some of the most popular deals will include $35 for Amazon’s Fire tablet, $348 for a 55-inch Roku smart TV and $99 for Jawbone’s Up3.

Amazon is aiming to beat sales made on Prime Day which saw the company sell 47,000 televisions in a day, says The New York Times.
Amazon also has been watching the Chinese equivalent of Black Friday known as Singles Day very carefully. Taking place earlier this month, it broke all records with online retailer Alibaba making $14.3 billion in sales in just 24 hours, despite the Chinese economy seeing a slump in consumer demand.
